The Timberwolves are in Charlotte on Wednesday night to face the Hornets on the second night of their back-to-back, which they began on Tuesday with a 126-112 win at home against the 76ers. Julius Randle ($6,500) played 30 minutes in the victory, scoring 16 points to go with eight rebounds and five assists on his way to 33 fantasy points. He just returned from a month off due to a groin injury, though, so the team has listed him as questionable for Wednesday’s contest.
If Randle plays, he’s a solid DFS fantasy option after posting 32 and 33 fantasy points in his two games since returning. However, if he sits, Naz Reid ($7,800) and Jaden McDaniels ($7,000) would carry the load, especially with Rudy Gobert (injury maintenance) and Mike Conley (rest) already ruled out.
The Hornets aren’t pushovers in the frontcourt with Miles Bridges ($8,500) and Mark Williams ($7,600), but Reid will still be a strong play if Randle ends up joining Gobert on the bench for Wednesday’s matchup.
Keep an eye out for updates from the Timberwolves as you get your lineup ready for Wednesday night’s contests, including the NBA $300K Fadeaway [$100K to 1st].
